LAHMBA gave me a home away from home during my MBA. Beyond the professional opportunities, I found lifelong friends who understood my background and supported me through every challenge. The leadership experience I gained has been invaluable in my career.

Sofia Mendoza

MBA ‘24, Former LAHMBA President

As a first-generation student, I was intimidated starting my MBA. LAHMBA’s mentorship program connected me with second-years who helped me navigate recruiting and academics while celebrating our shared culture. I’ve found my place at McCombs thanks to this community.

Carlos Vega

The connections I made through LAHMBA directly led to my internship and full-time role. The mock interviews with alumni, resume workshops, and company networking events gave me confidence during recruiting that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Organizing the LAHMBA conference connected me with Latino leaders across industries who continue to mentor me today. This organization doesn’t just talk about community—it creates meaningful connections that last well beyond graduation.
